Franklin Wireless 850 data usage

Does anyone know what could be eating up my data? I literally view 1 web page per day and that's just to login real fast for credit. And maybe 15 minutes on InstaGC. I tested my other laptop data usage doing same exact things and my data use is nowhere near this. I've tried every setting on my laptop to stop the data flow. I can't figure it out. I'm sick of having to watch to make sure I don't go over my plan.

We are sorry to learn about the unexpected usage, but let us see how we can help. You mentioned that you tested this in a different laptop, which didn't use up much data.Possibly, the first computer you used, is running apps or processes or automatic downloads in the background.If that PC is running a Windows 10 OS system, you might find this article helpful on how to stop your PC from running them:https://www.windowscentral.com/how-prevent-apps-running-background-windows-10

I am having the same problem. Still using same computer for last 5 years, Windows 8. Happens exactly every 30 minutes day and night, including when I am not home or asleep. Computer is powered OFF most of the time, and no other devices are connected but data keeps being used. Only thing that stops this is turning off my FreedomPop device. Has the FreedomPop system been hacked to steal people's data?

Possibly, someone has gained access to your Freedompop device network. Did you reset the password when the device was received?If you have not, please provide us with your device's MEID number to be able to give you the steps to change the password and see if there is any change.
